For your first research assignment you will create a presentation that promotes a particular artist from a particular art movement or genre. For example, you could create a presentation about
Vincent Van Gogh and Post-Impressionism.
Instructions: Choose an artist from the list below. Next, do a google search to find out which art movement or genre he or she belongs too. If the artist you have chosen is still alive then chances are he/she belongs to the contemporary art movement. If you research does not say then shoot me an email. Before you post your artist and genre, look at previous posts to make sure that someone has not already chosen your artist.
Your
post should look like this:
i.e. "artist : Pablo Picasso, Genre:
Cubism."
Do not choose an artist that has already been chosen. No more than one person per artist! NO exceptions! It does not matter of it was chosen by another student in a different period!
